Table: CloudPoint operations on the Dell EMC PowerStore array
Snapshot Manager for Data Center operations | Description |
|---|---|
Discover assets | CloudPoint discovers all the array volumes and snapshots inside the snapshot group flexsnap_snap_group with some metadata. The volumes which are clone types in the respective attributes and without mapping are not discovered. |
Create snapshot | To create a snapshot, CloudPoint triggers a SDK method with the required snapshot details. The API returns the details of the snapshot. A typical snapshot created by CloudPoint has the following naming convention: NB<unique_21digit_number>. |
Delete snapshot | To delete a snapshot, CloudPoint triggers a SDK method call with the required snapshot details. Then confirms that the snapshot is deleted successfully on the array. |
Restore snapshot | CloudPoint offers the ability to restore the snapshots using the SDK method with the different restore paths. |
Export snapshot | CloudPoint supports export snapshot over the iSCSI and FC. It uses the SDK to set the LUN path for snapshot. |
Deport snapshot | When a snapshot deport operation is triggered, CloudPoint deletes the export mapping created between the host and the volume. |
